LAKELAND, Ga. --
Four people are being held in the arson-murder of a 12-year-old Lakeland girl whose body was found in the ashes of her home.
Laquinta Bowens was killed Feb. 4. Investigators said Tuesday the blaze was ignited by a molotov cocktail that was thrown into the residence.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation and Lakeland police said 20-year-old Antonio McCutchin of Lakeland and a 16-year-old male were each charged with malice murder, felony murder, arson and other crimes.
Two others, including McCutchin's mother and a 16-year male, were charged with hindering prosecution.
